Naz I have noticed a lot of noobs getting a lot of stick for asking questions that us oldies know
So how about a Fixed FAQ section that only you can move things to for posts relevant to first timer questions
Eg nessesity of pads, how to tie the straps, ordering, tyre socks (with maybe links to other good posts in each catagory as they become available)
Then when something good gets posted you can put a link in each catagory so it dose'nt get lost on the site also links to good info sites outside
